An Impractical Sweater Returns

Do you have any clothes that are so impractical as to be inconvenient? That you are willing to endure a little inconvenience for the enjoyment of wearing? Hopefully, you only have one thing that fits this description, and not a closet full of them.

Here it is with an ivory tunic underneath. The sleeves of the tunic fill in the negative space created by the sweater’s deconstructed sleeves. Tone-on-tone works well because the sweater and blouse have distinct textures.

Are the sleeves deconstructed or articulated?

Things not to do while wearing this sweater:

Cook

Light candles on birthday cake for 12-year-old

Operate industrial lathe

Wash hands; this last is a problem because I wash my hands at least 20 times a day

I do have a trick for keeping the sleeves out of the sink when I wash my hands: I tuck the loose ends into the ties at the elbow.

Thusly managed, the sleeves present only a minor inconvenience.

For comparison, the sweater is not nearly as inconvenient as my overgrown hair

I am overdue for a haircut! Trying to manage the situation by tucking my hair behind my ears. Perhaps I need a skinny, mod head-band for times like this.

While I ponder the head-band, you have a fantastic weekend!

It is taking two hands — all hands — to bring my hair under some measure of control

I like the sweater and the sleeves though I see inherent problems and am amused at the don’t do’s. I can think of a few more perhaps but alas, style wins out. Your hair is beautiful longer as well as shorter. Give it a try!
